Synopsis
No woman in the three-hundred-year history of the karyukai has ever come forward in public to tell her story -- until now."Many say I was the best geisha of my generation," writes Mineko Iwasaki. "And yet, it was a life that I found too constricting to continue. And one that I ultimately had to leave." Trained to become a geisha from the age of five, Iwasaki would live among the other "women of art" in Kyoto's Gion Kobu district and practice the ancient customs of Japanese entertainment. She was loved by kings, princes, military heroes, and wealthy statesmen alike. But even though she became one of the most prized geishas in Japan's history, Iwasaki wanted more: her own life. And by the time she retired at age twenty-nine, Iwasaki was finally on her way toward a new beginning. Geisha, a Life is her story -- at times heartbreaking, always awe-inspiring, and totally true.

    Shipping made it ahead of schedule. My package arrived 3 days before the upper range of dates presented. The packaging was perfect and kept the package very safe. What I ordered was a used item and it came exactly as described and shown in the pics. The value was on par for the market for this item.

    Arrived very quickly and 100% matches the pictures. The sweatshirt was discontinued years ago and I got this one to replace my original that’s gotten a bit ragged from wear. The price was absolutely fair, around what I remember paying for my first one. And it was in a plastic bag inside the mailer so there was no damage in transit even with a ton of rain lately. The seller was also very quickly and friendly replying to messages.
